About This Model
The Sony CDP-597 is a full-size CD player released in 1991, built around Sony's pulse D/A converter with a 45-bit noise-shaping digital filter (CXD2560) for clean, accurate playback. It delivers a signal-to-noise ratio of 105 dB or more and total harmonic distortion of 0.003% or less, with a flat frequency response from 2 Hz to 20 kHz. Outputs include fixed and variable line-level RCA, an optical digital output, and a headphone output. The CDP-597 is particularly well-specified for editing and dubbing use, offering peak search, time edit, just edit, link edit, program edit, time fade, variable fade, and manual fader functions alongside delete play, 99-track delete shuffle, music scan, auto-queue, and AutoSpace - making it a capable source unit for tape compilation or home studio work.
A great opportunity to own a Sony CDP-597 at this price point.
